BCBoy Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Very futuristic, but it wouldn't fly in this day in age where drop shadows appear on jersey's. Great concept though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaftDu Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 this is a really good start. Drop shadows won't work. I do like the bigger lighting bolts and colors. I would clean it up with solid lines. This is a really good pre planning of the Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHraven626 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 i completely agree that drop shadows wont work here, especially on the helmet numbers. But it is a great start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB33 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Although the drop shadow and the glow effect would be impossible to duplicate on a real jersey (in modern times at least) this is a great concept. My one suggestion would be to let the bolt stripe on the pants go up on to the jersey. #CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphanic Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Those are hot. I agree that the half-bolt on the pants aren't really working. But given the size, I don't know if I'd like them go up the jersey because of the size of the shoulder-bolts (which I like). What about making a whole bolt on the pants themselves? Flip it over so the points converge on the players touchee. *tee hee* Either that or maybe strike the pant-bolt altogether. Good work. "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."I tweet & tumble.

VitaminD Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Visually stunning, but a reproduction nightmare. Lots of glowing and gradient shadows. These'd run Joe Fan $500 for an authentic. It's a little bit overdone and looks airbrushed, but it's different, I'll give you full credit there.Personally, these are also too "cute" for pro football. The powder blue looks even lighter and brighter than usual, the shadows and the glows and the neon yellows don't look tough or intimidating, and the font isn't working for the numbers.Like I said, great original look - but not for an NFL team. It'd be too expensive to make, and puts out the wrong vibe. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 This is my first concept, and I used adobe with what limited skills i have with it. I didn't want to use a drop shadow originally, but I'm not sure how to do 2 stroke borders. The chargers bolt idea looks airbrushed because...it is. I need to hone my adobe skills before I can pump out any solid stuff. Main questions:how do i get the lasso to do what I want? For example:How do I take this as a layer and remove all the white without using the eraser tool? This concept is definitely different, but I agree it doesn't say "gridiron." It was just a fun idea, like most concepts Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

mohelmets Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I love the color combo and the overall look, but agree with the previous drop shadow and glow effect comments...The facemask, imo, should probably be gray on the helmet...Overall, I like this....a LOT....Great job!!!Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
